Akron - Canton Airport
director John Doyle has recommended that the airport
fight Eastern Airlines'plan
to drop its Akron-to-Char-
lotte run.
The airport board was to
meet Thursday, July 20, to
decide what course of action to take concerning Eas
tern's request to the Civil
Aeronautics Board (CAB)
to grant a suspension ofthe
service.
The board has some options it can tell Doyle to
carry out: To fight the
Eastern plan, ask another
airline to take the flight,
or take no action.
"I would like to think the
board would recommend
retaining Eastern as long
as it can," DoylesaidWed-
nesday. "I think Eastern is
a great carrier."
Eastern in May asked the
CAB to grant a suspension
oi the run rather than a
deletion of service, thus
giving the airline the right
to resume service anytime.
Eastern says it is losing
money serving the airport,
but Doyle said the flight,
which originates in Cleveland, is usually oversoldby
at least 10 percent.

Riegler At
NEA Convention
Charles Riegler
Attending the recent NEA
Convention in Dallas was
Charles Riegler, Mathematics teacher at the North
Canton Junior High, who represented the North Canton
Education Association
there, along with some 10,-
000 other delegates from all
parts of the United States.
Riegler is the NCEA's
Vice - President for the
1978-79 school year. He
found that the Convention
accomplished much business and provided an impetus for educators as they
look forward to the new
school year.
In addition to enjoying
regular business sessions
of the convention, Mr. Reig-
ler was impressed by
several of thespeakers who
addressed the Assembly.
One of the bestwas the Rev.
Jesse Jackson, national
present of Operation
PUSH, .whose topic was
"Teachers for Excellence
Can Save Our Children,"
The North Canton teacher
appreciated Jackson's appraisal of the dual crisis
Bid To Annex
Walsh Property
Has Been Denied
Stark County Commissioners have denied the bid
of annexing more than 62
acres owned by Walsh College from Plain Township
into North Canton. This decision could result in legal
action by the petitioners
to have the ruling reversed.
Attorney John Haas, who
represents Walsh College
in the drive for annexation,
said he is not in the position to say if they will definitely appeal the diclsion.
Commissioners said annexation would not serve
the general good ofthe area.
Walsh wants to sell 62
vacant acres between Easton and Schneider Sis., NV.'
and says the property is
worth $2,000 more an acre
in the city than in the township. North Canton officials
have said they will not extend city services into the
area unless the acerage is
annexed.
Walsh has ten days to
appeal the decision through
Stark County Common
Pleas Court.
The college had indicated
funds from the proposed
sale of the land would be
used for ascholarship fund.
Commissioner Norman
Sponseller said a major
consideration of the County
in rendering the decision
was the effect annexation
could have on federal funding of a sanitary sewer
project in that area. He
said they could have been
forced to start the whole
project over. The project
is in its second stage.
Musser and Sponseller
voted to deny the petition.
Commissioner Robert
Schirack was absent from
the session at which the vote
was taken.
Hearings on the petition
drew more than 100 township residents opposed to
the annexation. The hearing
was held in two stages to
allow allinterestedpersons
to attend and testify.
which confronts education
in America today. Externally there is a crisis caused by racial trauman, tuition tax credits, proposition 13, and "Bakke-ism";
internally there is a crisis
in effort, moral decadence,
parental detachment, and
loss of moral authority in
the classroom. According
to Riegler, Jackson concluded his remarks by challenging educators to greatness.
Other speakers included
the Co - Chairperson for
ERA America, Elly Peterson, and President of ABC
Television, Frederick
Pierce. While speaking of
his network's efforts toward programming with
less violence, Piercepoint-
ed out that parents can and
should control the TV viewing their children do.
Two other North Canton-
ians were in Dallas: Mr.
and Mrs. Jesse McDowell.
Mrs. McDowell was a delegate for the State of Ohio
(OEA), and Mr. McDowell,
who teaches English and
speech at the Junior High,
was a non-delegate observer.
A Public Hearing was held prior to the regular
City Council meeting Monday, July 24 in Council
Cbambers The PubHc Hearing concerned a zone
change request by Fred Craig of 2344 Easton NE
for land he owns- on the south side of Applegrove
St. NW (420 Applegrove St. NW) from R-2F Residential two-tfamily district to GB-A District.
Stark Gets $1,246,798
A fourth tax distribution
of 1978 license revenues
totalling more than $34 million has been released by
the Ohio Bureau of Motor
Vehicles. Stark County will
receive |1,246,798.30.
The North Canton Planning Commission had voted
to recommend that this area
be rezoned to NB (Neighborhood Business) rather
than GB-A District as requested.
Mr. Craig said he purchased the property about
five months ago and wants
to build an antique shop or
gift shop on the site sometime in the future. He told
council the NB (Neighborhood Business) zoning
would suit his plans.
According to Mr. Craig,
the property he ownes is
bordered by a trailer park
on the east and south sides
and there is a bowling alley
across the street.
The house is presently
being used as rental property.
No one spoke against the
zone change proposal.
The application will now
go to Council's Zoning
Committee for discussion
before it is putonCouncil't,
agenda for their vote.
During the legislative
portion of Council a record
plat of Eastwoods Allotment
No. 2 was adopted and legislation which provides
standards and procedures
for reducing flood damage
was passed. Legislation
was adopted establishing
personnel regulations,etc.;
accepting the Cith of Nortii
Canton Personnel Handbook; contracting for employees group hospitalization insurance; contracting
for leaf removal from October 9 through December
1; and contracting for construction of curbs and gutters beginning in two weeks
on Hillcrest.
It was learned from the
Storm Sewer Committee,
chaired by Council President Paul Blohm, that the
committee has reviewed the
opinion rendered by Assistant Law Director Thomas
Treason with regard to
Cowie Creek.City Engineer
Dennis Flechtner stated
that the enclosure of the
creek would be possible
with lateral drains. Thes
laterals could cause water
pockets during heavy rains,
which would drain off rapidly after the storm. The
cost would be approximately $50,000. The committee reached the conclusion
that there are at
least three home owners
not in favor of enclosing
the creek and with this and
other problems in mind, it
would no be possible to go
ahead with 'enclosing the
Cowie Creek.
